Public vs Private

I am sure various forms have discussed the various benefits vs drawbacks, but curious about various thoughts about deciding between pursuing Public vs Private markets.

Of course there are different investing stages in Private and investment strategies in Public, but wanted to hear others experiences to see what traits/interests align best.
